    Over het programma

    Join our vibrant immersive experience at Nourish Eco Village, where you'll engage in hands-on work across impactful conservation, education, and community development programs. 

    Environmental Education & Hands-On Learning

    Since 2016, our Environmental Education program work daily with local primary school children, teaching conservation and taking them on field trips to connect with nature. In 2025, across our three locations, we are supporting over 400 children with Environmental Education—empowering the next generation to protect our planet!

    As a volunteer, you'll play a key role in our Green Kidz environmental education program, teaching local primary school children about conservation. Your day will include preparing for lessons, creating content like activities, games and presentations, and engaging with the children in activities that connect them to nature. You’ll also supervise their projects and field trips (if available), ensuring that they learn in an interactive and meaningful way.

    Support Our Broader Programs
    In addition to working with the Green Kidz program, you’ll have the opportunity to support other initiatives that are all based on the same property:

    • Early Childhood Development: Assist with our Rise creches, helping young children develop early skills.
    • Entrepreneurship & Social Enterprise: Support small local businesses through our incubator programs.
    • Agro-Ecology & Sustainable Farming: Engage in training and projects aimed at sustainable farming practices, tailored to African conditions.
    • Eco Village Outreach: Participate in recycling programs and other eco-friendly initiatives within the surrounding community.

    Cultural Exchange & Immersion
    This is more than just a volunteer program—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in local culture. Learn the Tsonga language, join our staff at church (free & optional), and experience traditional village events (when available). It’s a unique way to connect with the local community and broaden your cultural understanding.

    Explore & Unwind
    Weekends are yours to explore the stunning landscapes of the area. We can arrange excursions to Kruger National Park, the Panorama Route, and more (additional cost), so you can unwind while discovering the beauty of South Africa.
